University of Washington School of Dentistry
A person in motion, stays in motion. Our goal at the UW Dental Medicine in Motion chapter is to create a community of dental students and residents who strive to foster lifelong, holistic health habits. This includes good oral health, physical health and mental wellbeing. We hope to offer new and fun ways to stay active and connected during the current pandemic, while giving back to our community through philanthropy.

Abigail Koenig
Hi, my name is Abigail, and I am super excited to join UW's Medicine in Motion chapter! I love spending time outdoors and being active, so I really look forward to being part of a community centered around fitness as a stress-relieving and social outlet!
Elliot Willis
(Vice-President)
Elliot is a 2nd year dental student at the University of Washington. He attended Utah State University where he ran track and field and explored the Rocky Mountains through hiking, rock climbing, fishing, hunting, and backpacking. In the busiest semesters in undergrad, he realized exercise was a necessity to reset, keep a clear head, and relax. Medicine in Motion is a way to be a part of a group and to be held accountable to make time for yourself, even when overwhelmed with school. Elliot is excited to be involved with this group and to encourage himself and others to be more active, healthy, and all-around better.

Sara Johnson (President)
Sara is a 2nd year dental student at the University of Washington. She attended Carroll College in Montana and enjoyed the abundance of outdoor activities the area had to offer. Growing up she was always involved in sports including soccer, basketball and track which showed her the importance of fitness and friendship. At college, she found sports and the outdoors were a great way to connect with new people and to relax. She is excited to be back in Washington and explore with their fellow classmates and peers. For her Medicine in Motion is an ideal convergence of her three favorite pursuits: health, community and philanthropy. She is excited for the future of the UWSOD Medicine in Motion chapter and to help people connect through a shared desire for wellness.
